HyperVisu Server

Overview

The HVS-KNX HyperVisu Server is a universal building automation platform designed to unite disparate building systems into a single, cohesive ecosystem. Serving as the central intelligence hub for smart buildings, HyperVisu bridges professional KNX installations with IoT devices, industrial equipment, and advanced analytics tools. The platform delivers enterprise-grade functionality through native mobile applications while maintaining the reliability and standards compliance that KNX integrators require.

Technical Capabilities

The HyperVisu Server provides comprehensive protocol bridging with native KNX support, full Modbus TCP and HTTP APIs connectivity for industrial equipment and energy meters, and complete Home Assistant integration for IoT device ecosystems. The Universal KNX Bridge feature enables mapping of any connected device to KNX group addresses, allowing non-KNX devices to communicate seamlessly within the KNX infrastructure.

Node-RED integration provides visual automation workflow creation without coding requirements, enabling complex multi-protocol logic including time-based schedules, occupancy-triggered events, weather-based adjustments, and dynamic energy pricing responses. Grafana integration delivers professional-grade dashboards for energy monitoring, consumption analytics, and ROI reporting with customizable KPIs.

The platform supports secure remote access with enterprise-grade encryption. Remote ETS programming capability allows integrators to diagnose, configure, and update KNX installations without on-site visits, significantly reducing service response times and operational costs. Historical KNX Monitor with trending allows to diagnostic past events on the KNX bus.

Energy management features include real-time consumption monitoring by device, room, or system, historical analysis with trend identification, and spot market integration enabling automated load shifting during price fluctuations. Buildings can optimize energy costs by pre-conditioning during low-rate periods and deferring flexible loads during peak pricing.

Installation & Configuration

The HyperVisu Server is deployed as a dedicated hardware appliance. Network connectivity requires standard Ethernet connection to the building network, with KNX connection via external IP interface. Initial setup utilizes a web-based configuration interface accessible from any browser.

KNX integration supports group address import from ETS projects. Home Assistant, Modbus TCP, HTTP APIs and other protocol connections are configured through the web interface with guided setup. Node-RED flows and Grafana dashboards can be created directly within the platform or imported from templates.

Role-based access control configuration allows granular permission assignment by user role, room or category.

Applications

Residential Smart Homes: Unified control of KNX lighting, climate, shutters, and security combined with WiFi devices, smart locks, and multimedia systems. Scene-based automation with geofencing triggers delivers comfort without complexity.

Commercial Office Buildings: Multi-floor automation with tenant sub-metering, occupancy-based HVAC optimization, centralized monitoring dashboards, and role-based access for facilities managers, tenants, and contractors.

Multi-Unit Residential & Hotels: Template-based configuration enables rapid deployment across identical units with centralized portfolio monitoring. Guest-facing apps provide limited controls while protecting core system configuration.

Industrial Facilities: Integration of KNX building systems with Modbus-connected HVAC equipment, pump stations, and industrial machinery. Node-RED enables complex interlocks and safety sequences with comprehensive logging.

Energy-Optimized Buildings: Real-time solar, battery, and grid monitoring with automated demand response. Spot market integration enables significant cost savings through intelligent load management and renewable energy arbitrage.

Compatibility & Integration

HyperVisu provides native integration with the complete Elausys product ecosystem including MSA-810 Universal KNX Actuators, all INV-KNX inverter gateways (SMA, Fronius, Huawei, Kostal, GoodWe, Sungrow, SolarEdge), and alarm system interfaces. The platform communicates with any KNX-certified device via standard KNX protocol.

Third-party integration encompasses Home Assistant's extensive device ecosystem (thousands of manufacturers), any Modbus TCP-enabled device including industrial HVAC, smart meters, and energy storage systems, and IP cameras for security monitoring. RESTful APIs enable custom integrations with virtually any HTTP-capable system.

The platform supports future-proof expansion and continuous updates for emerging smart building standards. ElauPro integration provides automated ETS project generation and instant mobile app deployment for streamlined project workflows.
